Realizing how limited the entertainment options were for his family of five, Richard Phillips decided to take matters into his own hands. He opened Hill Country Golf & Guitaras a place where people could rock out while perfecting their putt-putt skills. In other words, a real Austin experience. Located in Bee Cave, the facility greets visitors with a 600-pound metal guitar sculpture at the entrance. Inside, there’s an 18-hole mini golf course with an open lawn in the center where folks can hear live music Friday through Sunday beginning in the first week of March. Make a reservation at the Six String Grill restaurant and watch from the patio that overlooks the course and provides a view of the stage. Or just come out to listen to great music while playing a round, which costs $6.50 for individuals ages 5 and up. You’ll be swinging and swaying in no time.
